2.6 Choosing a Server
Pattern

After the file copy is complete, the Choose a Pattern page
displays and you are given the opportunity to select the type of
server you want to install. Clicking on the name of a special-purpose
server (pattern) displays a description of that server in the Description
window.

The following types of pattern installations are available
in OES NetWare:

The following sections provide additional information about
the individual installation patterns and the products they will
install on your server.

2.6.1 Customized NetWare Server

This option gives you the freedom to install any combination
of products you want.

After you select Customized NetWare Server and
click Next, the Components page displays and
you can choose which additional OES NetWare components to install.

To view a description of a component, place the cursor over
the component name.

To select additional components to install, click the check
box next to each component you want to install and then click Next.

The displayed default selections can be deselected if desired.

NOTE:The iManager installation might take up to 15 minutes to complete.
During this installation, the page does not change.

The Customized NetWare Server pattern gives you the flexibility
to install any of the NetWare files needed for setting up a server.
Following are some of the components that you might want to select and
the reasons for choosing them.

iPrint is required for setting up
printing on the server. If you select this option, select iManager also.

Novell DNS/DHCP Services is required for
setting up DNS or DHCP services on the server. If you select this
option, select iManager also.

Novell iFolder® Storage Services lets you
set up a software solution that lets your users’ files follow
them across multiple workstations and the Internet. Selecting this
component also requires you to select these components:

for basic server operation. They are copied to the server by selecting
a Customized server type or any of the pattern installation options.

2.6.2 Basic Netware File Server

This option installs only the basic NetWare operating system.
This option is appropriate if you want to get the server up and
running quickly and install products later. The Basic NetWare File
Server option copies only the components needed for a basic NetWare
server, which are those shown in Table 2-1.

2.6.3 Pre-Migration Server

This option installs a NetWare server that an existing server
will be migrated to at a later time using the NetWare Migration
Wizard utility. The Migration Wizard connects the servers involved
in a migration using one of two methods, SLP or the sys:\etc\hosts file.

network. NetWare supports Native File Access protocols (NFAPs),
including Windows Networking (CIFS), Novell Networking (NCP™), UNIX/Linux
Networking (NFS), Macintosh Networking (AFP), and Web Storage (HTTP,
HTTPS, FTP, and WebDAV). Multiplatform clients and application servers
can access storage using their native protocols. This deployment
includes NetStorage, which allows for Web-based sharing of and access
to files. From any Web client, or through WebDAV for sharing, all
your data is securely accessible. OES NetWare is able to drop into
and integrate with any of these environments seamlessly, as well
as bridge these environments together.

real-time e-mail notifications, and enables centralized logging
to a single data store.

2.6.14 iSCSI SAN Storage Server

This option creates an iSCSI Storage Server (also known as
an iSCSI Target) out of an OES NetWare server. The iSCSI Storage
Server includes LDAP access control so you can limit the servers
on the iSCSI SAN that can access the storage on the iSCSI Storage
Server.

allows your users' files to follow them across multiple workstations
and the Internet. With iFolder, each user has a single virtual work folder
that provides convenient and secure access to the most recent version
of his or her documents. All the user needs is an active Internet
connection and the iFolder client or a Web browser. The iFolder
server helps guard against local data loss by automatically backing
up user's local files to the iFolder server, making them available
for regularly scheduled data backup.
